A very juicy fruit Craigellachie with something of a whiff of smoke in the background. Serge at Whiskyfun suggests using this in a blind tasting!

Dry spices, cinnamon, cassia bark mixed in with lemon icing and coconut flakes.
Craigellachie-Glenlivet 9yo (2009) 55.1%: 2 x HHD A⊕
Nose – Super confident this one; waxed paper and drumsticks (sweets), starburst sweets and rhubarb and custards.
Body – A wonderful off dry, burnt fruit delivery – quite unexpected from the nose and much more grown up than I was expecting.
Finish – Short and dusty, like a much older whisky. Oily at the end.
A complicated, burnt and dry-yet-fruity whisky. Challenging and still luxurious.

Craigellachie-Glenlivet 9 yo 2009/2019 (55.1%, Cadenhead, Small Batch, 570 bottles)
This baby from two hogsheads. Colour: white wine. Nose: this is more complex, with more coastal tones, as well as something chalky, or at least mineral. There’s also a little smoke and a little pepper, touches of ink, and then a rather marrowy development. It’s likely than one, if not both casks had seen some peaters in an earlier life. With water: you bet! Mud, beach sand, seawater, soot, dough, floor cloth, old jacket, rain water… And custard! Mouth (neat): peat, salt, butterscotch, vanilla and lemon fudges, then roasted peanuts and turon. Very good, I think. With water: even the citrus fruits hint at Islay. Finish: rather long, ashier, drier. Salty and malty aftertaste. Comments: a funny one to mislead the enemies. Or blind tasting special!
